  1. March 7 Monday-Thursday: Snow Days Friday: Poetry Catch-up!

  2. Literary-Device-of-the-Day: Symbolism • Symbolism: representing things using symbols. • Symbols: an object, action, or idea that represents something other than itself. • Symbolism makes poetry much more meaningful.

  3. Poem-of-the-Day: “The Road Not Taken” • Handouts of Poem

  4. Questions on Poem • What is the theme of this poem? (Think WAY back to when we talked about themes) • Personal connection: What path would you choose if one road was labeled ‘fame’ and the other road ‘fortune’? • Look at the last stanza. Does the narrator seem to be happy with his choice or no? Why? • Honor’s Question: Have you ever chosen the wrong path? If so, write down a specific example.

  5. Homework • Draw your own shield symbolizing who you are. • Draw at least four images that help symbolize you as a person on the shield given to you. • For instance, my shield may consist of: • Stove because I love to cook. • A book because I enjoy reading. • A shopping bag full of shoes. • Toys because my life is full of toys and kids. 10 minutes to work in class…

  6. Imagery Day 9 • Definition: a literary device that appeals to your senses. • Examples: • Auditory: The bells chimed 2 o'clock and Daniel got ready for school. Also, onomatopoeia plays a huge role here. • Movement: "tossing their heads in sprightly dance” (Wordsworth) • Smell: Gio's socks, still soaked with sweat from Tuesday's P.E. class, filled the classroom with an aroma similar to that of salty, week-old, rotting fish. • Taste: The sweet marinara sauce makes up for the bland sea-shell pasta that Jeffrey served. • Touch: The clay oozed between Jeremy's fingers as he let out a squeal of pure glee.

  7. Practice: Imagery Tumbling through the ocean water after being overtaken by the monstrous wave, Mark unintentionally took a gulp of the briny, bitter mass, causing him to cough and gag. Which type of imagery is this?

  8. Practice: Imagery (continued) • Yalimar dug her feet into the wet sand, burying her toes inside the beach as cold waves lapped at her ankles. • What type of imagery is this an example of?

  9. Poem-of-the-Day: “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” Handouts of Poem

  10. Homework: • Pretend for a moment that you are a caged bird. We have discussed this some, so this shouldn’t be hard to do. What is freedom to you? In a circle map, write all the things that you can associate with your “freedom.” Make sure there are clear connections between freedom and your descriptions. 3 Circles need to be imagery connections.
